The screen housing is also similarly constructed. I am able to twist the screen housing a little bit more than I would have preferred, but the screen does not distort at all while doing this. Additionally, I can only produce ripples on the screen by pressing somewhat hard on the back surface. The back will flex some under normal usage which is to be expected from plastic, but the bezel does a good job of protecting the valuable LCD screen. It would be very difficult to damage the LCD under normal usage and that makes it a clear winner for travelling in a backpack or suitcase.

Some flexibility in the notebook body.
